Save Poddery Campaign

Poddery.com, one of the earliest diaspora social networking hosts, was scheduled to close on June 30th, 2013. So, a community of diaspora users and contributors gathered together and started the Save Poddery Campaign. We started fund raising at indiegogo.com, and acquired 967 in the period June 09, 2013 - July 23, 2013.

Poddery.com, is one of the earliest and biggest diaspora social networking host.

Diaspora is a culture. A culture against the loss of personal privacy by the corporate social network giants. Diaspora enables you to keep your data with you and provides the flexibility to choose what you share. Since your data is stored on your own computer and not a single company's servers you are in control of your data.

Diaspora, being a distributed system, is actually a network of multiple instances of the software Diaspora. These instances are called pods. You can think of it like a mobile service provider or an email provider. You can chose to have diaspora account from any of these accounts from podupti.me or you can choose poddery to be your diaspora host.

Matrix

Matrix is a decentralised instant messenger which supports end to end encryption and file sharing. You can connect with your friends and communities here.

XMPP

Poddery supports chatting among your contacts in Diaspora and anybody with an account on a service supporting XMPP. You need to enable chat on your Poddery account to make use of it. See this tutorial for help. There are various chat clients available for your PC, tablet or phone.
